HISTORICAL FACTS: Canary islands holidaymakers get easter exchange rate boost from strong pound | History Defined

The Canary Islands has suspended most of its Covid restrictions for UK tourists arriving in the region. Various rules have been scrapped, including capacity limits in both indoor and outdoor venues, which will now be able to operate at full capacity in time for the Easter holidays.

UK holidaymakers need to be fully-vaccinated to travel to the Canary Islands unless they have a recent recovery certificate. Younger people aged between 12-17 are able to enter Spain without being vaccinated but will need to have a negative PCR test from the previous 72 hours.

Foreign exchange specialist FairFX has revealed how British visitors could cash in on the rise in the value of sterling against the euro. The pound has climbed three per cent in value against the single currency since early March 2020, when Britons were last able to visit restriction-free, meaning travellers could get 33€ more for every £1,000 exchanged - the equivalent of £27.
